NSURLSession+SynchronousTask is an NSURLSession category which brings NSURLConnection-like (remember sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:?) synchronous tasks to NSURLSession.
Internally the category uses GCD to wait for the tasks to finish and NSURLSession's shared instance sharedSession to perform the tasks.
CocoaPods is the recommended method of installing NSURLSession-SynchronousTask. Simply add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'NSURLSession-SynchronousTask'NSURL *url = ...
NSError *error = nil;
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSData *data = [NSURLSession sendSynchronousDataTaskWithURL:url returningResponse:&response error:&error];
...
NSURL *url = ...
NSError *error = nil;
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURLSession sendSynchronousDownloadTaskWithURL:url returningResponse:&response error:&error];
...
NSURLRequest *uploadRequest = ...
NSData *dataToBeUploaded = ...
NSError *error = nil;
NSURLResponse *response = nil;
NSData *data = [NSURLSession sendSynchronousUploadTaskWithRequest:uploadRequest fromData:dataToBeUploaded returningResponse:&response error:&error];
...
